What do I do?

So I had been seeing this guy for three months but it progressed really fast. We had met each other’s families and friends, we were exclusive and things were going great. At the end of Dec he lost his job and then worked hard to find a new one. He is a therapist so his goal was to keep his clients and make sure he was able to find a new job quickly so they would have to go without help. Even though he found a new job and kept his clients things felt a little bit off towards the end of Jan and he broke up with me in the first part of Feb. he said it was because he was struggling to even care for himself (eat, sleep, etc. ) and didn’t have the eagerly to put into a relationship. He said he needed to handle this on his own, but I don’t know how to let go of the amazing connection we had. I just feel like our story is t supposed to be over yet, what do I do?

Give him some time. He’s probably still in love with you, but he’s in a difficult place right now and knows he can’t handle a relationship. He might just need space to think—and honestly, ending things when he knew he was struggling could’ve been his way of protecting you, not just asking for space. That said, there might come a point where waiting starts to hurt more than it helps. And if you ever feel ready to move on or start something new, just know that doing that doesn’t mean your story with him is over. Sometimes moving forward is part of the process. I really believe that if someone is truly meant for you, you’ll find your way back to each other. I know it’s hard right now, but things will settle. And if you feel deep down that your story isn’t finished, then it probably isn’t.

Thank you so much for this, I needed to hear it. He had reached out recently to hang out but then backed out of it saying things on his end got complicated and now doesn’t think it is a good idea. I hate that I feel heartbroken all over again. I thought this was our second chance but I still don’t think he is ready. It is so hard to let go of the hope but I feel like it is keeping me frozen in the pain of it
